WHOOZ the smoke'in guitar player!!?? (Not DaveM) Awesome!
MegaD rocks, but uhh can they swing? :)

Satch w/his current poppy chickenfoot retro-compadres, "arribah-reebaaahh!"
w/ Sammy, Michael A (great background vocs) and ChiliP drumr dude Chad Smith.
Joe cooks & whaa-waas on the homage to Jimi/Eric solo.
This album has grown on me since it came out in 2009...
 
Dam, that Mdeath g-player shreaded that fretboard. Good stuff. Yes of course Joe is a monster guitar player. Rock on!!!
 
@Dyingsun - 'Peace Sells' was by far the best thing Megadeath recorded. Even my oldest brother had the album whilst claiming to hate metal. Hate metal? Is that even possible?
 
Very first concert for me and my best buddy in '96, Megadeth will always be something special for me. :)

@Chris: Apparently Chris Broderick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , but I'm actually still partial to the semi - 'old' line-up with Ellefson, Friedman and Menza. :)

@Geo: Hell yeah \m/

@Goggs: Yep, though I actually loved and still love 'Rust in Peace' as well.

And these days Mustaine apparently went totally insane...
 
Very first concert for me and my best buddy in '96, Megadeth will always be something special for me. :).
Mine was NYC, Shaeffer Festival/ Woolman Rink/Central Pk '71, Leslie West, Felix Papalardi ala Mountain. Mississippi Queen was the hit they were supporting at the time... Here's another cool tune from that tour...retro but cool...
 
I should add that it wasn't exactly my first concert, but the first huge one. Since then...don't ask, I love live music and festivals, 'heavy metal, or nooo metal at all'.. (screw Manowar and their 'loudest band in the world' shtick though, I indeed had a tinitus for 2 days after).

Good Death/Thrash and some blackmetal, and I'm good to go. Ah well, anything with guitars, really. ;)

You old fart, you. ;)
 
Anthrax in about '88 - Among the Living. Some of the best head-banging riffs ever and I don't mean that in a drunken - metal - silliness way. I mean some of those riffs are just so heavy you involuntarily exaggerate nodding to the beat.

Kiss singing 'Lick it Up' Donnington '88....so many memories so much metal and bad hair but it was soooo good.
 
Yngwie is comically huge imho, I like the guy, but .. ;P

I can't argue your point with respect to his image. But as a musician, Malmsteen's technical skills as a speed picker is unmatched.
Next in line we have Steve Vai ( and a whole different fashion sense again ).
Note: These embedded videos seem jerky sometimes
watch directly on YouTube if they aren't smooth.
 
Nice. Steve Vai obviously prefers the toturers apron over Yngwie's more 'bloated rock stars black leather make me look less fat' choice.
Of course Steve is not hiding his fat belly, only his colossal dong behind the apron.


Any fellow guitar players out there who have ever played a 7-string? Kinda think it would be no problem to switch if keeping in concert pitch but we all know maybe when you pull certain nice 6-string chords you get used to picking and sweeping your arm a certain way and I can't help thinking I'd get annoyed with this extra-low B on the fretboard. Suppose if you start like that it would allow some bitchin' low-down riffs. Yeah, I'd give it a go but I've never been near a 7-string.

Oh, and I was so blown away the first time I saw Dave Mustaine's 'Spider-Chord' technique. It's so metal. I mean, it sounds metal in name and metal in nature. I think only a guitar player will really get what it is. Would not have made much sense to me before I started playing.
